সখি সাপের মণি বুকে করে কেঁদে নিশি যায়

sakhi saper mani buke kare kede nishi jay
     kal-nagini nandini dekhte pache pay (lo sakhi)।।

sai praner gopan katha mam
pinjreri pakhir sam
pakha jhaptiya kade bahir hate chay।।

parar bou-jhi jadi jaler ghate kane katha kay
amar kathai kailo bujhi mane jage bhay (sakhi):
ami chaite nari chokhe chokhe
pache maner katha jane loke।

amar eki halo day
sakhi lukano na jay
sakhi kangal jeman peye ratan thuite thai na pay।।
